Re: Toughbox Hex Shaft With Magnet

With it inserted into the gearbox correctly, the end sticks out about 7mm past the encoder mount pad. Given that the mag encoder requires that the magnet be between 0.75 and 1.5mm away from the end of the encoder, we're at a bit of a loss. Is the only option to use some spacers before the pad so that the encoder sticks way out? Or should we just say forget it, cut the end off, and install our own magnet?

Thanks!
I wouldn't cut it. Cutting the magnet is going to be messy. I would give AM support a call and let them know what you're seeing. I suspect they can help with a fix or suggesting one.

Re: Toughbox Hex Shaft With Magnet

I have not seen this product in person, however if the magnet is the only part too long, perhaps you can remove the magnet, then drill the hole in the shaft deeper with a standard drill in a vise (since there is already a hole) and then push the magnet down farther.
